Did ABC get more than they bargained for with the Fowler/Stephens Swap?
January 31, 2009 by Faith W 

Stephen Fowler will live in Wife Swap infamy as the most boorish and abusive of husbands ever to host a swapped wife. The day after this infamous episode the internet is howling. Why? Let me count the ways.

Liberal, upper crust, environmentally conscious, highly educated, weight appropriate San Franciscans were to swap wives with the Missouri small town ATV riding, paintball playing, overweight Middle Americans in the January 30th episode. The show in and of itself pairs couples that hold diametrically opposing views on just about everything from religion to politics to fish sticks; a recipe for conflict and emotional challenge in any situation. Nothing new there. However, the pairing on January 30th for the first time, added abuse to the mix. And that crossed line has gotten the audience into a stark raving tizzy.

Regular watchers know that most husbands on the show hold dearly to their viewpoints. Occasionally they are bombastic about it, but usually the audience member by the show’s conclusion is treated to a release, in that each pair learned something and all’s well that ends well.

=======================================================

The San Francisco elitist leftie is put with a mother from Missouri. He showed is ugly side by insulting her weight, which is ironic because his wife works with overweight and obese people. He also bashed the US military as well. He is an expatriot from England. Talk about a moron right there!

That's one reason I don't watch "Wife Swap". I saw it once, way back, and wanted to shoot the TV. I'm sure that if I had watched this episode, I would have choked the TV into an hourglass shape.

San Francisco: The a$$hole of America.....with 'him'-roids.

I've only seen part of this show once (the episode where the woman's screaming at the end about how evil the other family was).

That guy sounds like a total ass.  I'm not surprised that the show didn't intervene, anything for better ratings.

I actually recorded the show and tried to watch it.  I got about 15 minutes into it and had to turn it off.  That man was the biggest asshole I have ever seen in my life.

Yeah she was a total loser nutbag because all of the pagen/satan worshipping shit at that house was against everything she believed in.  The family taunted her relentlessly and they made her to look like the idiot.  She may have been a bit loud about her beliefs but at least she has some.

One thing I never understood....Had a satan worshipper (40 yrs. ago in college)explain to me that there was no God...didn't exist.... My thinking at the time was, "If there is no God, then there is no satan. So who's the fool here?"

That show really sets my teeth on edge, I can't watch it.  The 'Conflict' they are dying to bring up for ratings seems to inevitably turn into a display of terrible parenting and/or control freak behavior played out on the psyches of the children, there is something horribly unethical about the whole thing.
